How long does assembly take?

Most owners report an hour or two with two people. The door may need adjusting after the frame is squared.

Can it hold heavy power tools?

Yes. Each shelf is rated 55 lbs and the cabinet as a whole 410 lbs, so a miter saw or stacked tool cases fit fine.

Is it weather resistant enough for an unheated garage?

It is weather resistant and handles temperature swings and damp air, but it is not sealed against direct rain or standing water.

Yes, the full door has a built-in lock. It deters casual access but is not a high-security safe.

Can it connect to other Gladiator cabinets?

Yes. It is part of the modular GearBox line and is designed to line up and stack with matching Gladiator pieces.

Flat-packed steel panels, two shelves, the door and lock, leveler legs, and the hardware and instructions. Tools are not included.

Our take on the Gladiator Ready-to-Assemble Full-Modular Gearbox

The Gladiator Ready-to-Assemble Full-Modular Gearbox is a steel garage storage cabinet that ships flat and bolts together, with two full-width shelves and a locking full-door front. It holds up to 410 lbs per cabinet and 55 lbs per shelf, and leveler legs keep it steady on uneven concrete. It suits homeowners who want a lockable, weather-resistant cabinet for tools and gear and don't mind an hour or two with a wrench. Against welded ready-to-use cabinets it trades some rigidity and setup time for lower bulk shipping and modular expansion with other Gladiator pieces.

Pros

Steel construction with a hammered powder-coat finish
Two full-width shelves rated 55 lbs each

Weather-resistant for garages that see temperature swings
Modular design stacks and lines up with other Gladiator cabinets

Cons

Arrives flat and needs full assembly, including door alignment
Thin-gauge panels can flex until fully bolted together
Only two shelves, so tall items need the floor or an add-on
No drawers or bins included
Heavy box that is awkward for one person to move
